Tasi With My Lassie

Today I got the pleasure of meeting with my dear Friend Hannah for brunch. I always joke that my idea of a perfect date is going to brunch. Think about it, you can sleep in a little, get up at your leisure and then begin the day fresh in a warm atmosphere with great company and lovely food. Well after today this still stands true. Hannah and I went to a restaurant called Tasi. The atmosphere of this place was on point. From the rustic design, brick walls and artisan looking chalk board menus, my visual senses were already appealed. The menu items ranged from breakfast fritatas and scrambles to lunch soups, salads and sandwiches. All made from fresh and authentic ingredients. I (after a long hard look at the menu) decided on huevos rancheros that came with a simple mashed black bean quesadilla with a side of sweet and spicy smoked bacon. YUM. Hannah got a divine plate of Greek scrambled eggs and fresh fruit.

Did I mention that the chairs and mugs were orange? If you've ever seen my kitchen then you know how I feel about orange.. <3 As if this place couldn't get any better.

As I was saying before I began musing about our food, this was the best way I could have started my day. With a person I love dearly talking about things we could connect with on a deep level in an atmosphere that was so warm and inviting to my being. I have no doubts that the rest of my day will be wonderful because I began it with such great energy in the best way I can fathom. It's not always about what you do as long as what you do is right for you. It makes you feel good. No matter how big or small it makes you happy. Maybe that's not brunch. Maybe it's not in the company of other humans. Maybe it's just being snuggled up in bed with your dog for hours on end. But whatever it is, if you do it with intent and with your own satisfaction at heart then you are setting yourself up for a success and happiness. 

This carries over into making life style changes. Have purpose from deep within your soul behind doing what you do. Be mindful. Do what you know makes yourself happy. The rest falls into place after that. Whether the "rest" is a new career, new relationship, a fitness goal, etc. You find more satisfaction in your own life when you start living this way.

Welp, there is my huevos rancheros fueled food for thought for the day. Cheers to a great week ahead of us.
